At least in the case of vitamin D it's hardly pseudoscience. Multiple clinical studies have found that hypovitaminosis D is a serious risk factor for COVID-19.

It is correlated, but I am not aware of even a single study that shows actual causal determination.


Are you claiming that you read all the studies linked above and none of them show actual causal determination? We can't really prove anything 100% in biology but the totality of evidence is very strong here.


I recall studies showing significant efficacy even in acute settings, which was slightly unexpected, at least to me.


This is not a study, but it does discuss the biochemistry of vitamin D and the role it plays in the immune system. It is left to the viewer to draw their own conclusions.
